Hey All,

I would like to be able to freeze frame a file reference, but I'm struggling a bit with the method that should be used.

I've tried to do it via the reference node via setting timescale to 0 and then offset to the frame I want, but this doesn't appear to be a thing.

Using a timeshift works, but only if I put a wildcard(*) in the primitives param, which I don't really understand. It doesn't work / has no effect if I target just the geometry elements of the reference for example. However, this then appears to write out the time shifted reference to the USD file, resulting in a large USD file which feels wrong.

So my question is, how do I freeze frame a reference without it vastly bloating the output file (ie. incorporating the reference directly into the written USD, rather than just some overs).

Many thanks,

Jules

Awesome, Thank you!

Did you ever find a workaround for this, I seem to be having exactly the same issue?

Thanks,
Jules
